Abstract:No high-level evidences about the best technique or the best implant to use for obtaining the best outcomes in aesthetic breast augmentation, with low complications and re-interventions rates exist from available literature. In this paper we present the actual best evidence about the etiopathogenesis of main complications in aesthetic breast augmentation, identifying some basic rules to follow in order to reduce complication rates in our daily activity, minimizing re-interventions, obtaining long lasting results and high women's satisfaction levels.

“…The fourth hypothesis is also mechanically based and proposes that shear forces cause detachment of the implantecapsule complex from the surrounding breast tissue, thereby leaving the original capsule en-bloc with the textured implant. Subsequently, a new outer capsule layer develops to produce the double capsule phenomenon [3,7,8].…”

“…18 The Velcro effect can be reduced by an excessively large pocket, an immature periprosthetic capsule, an unstable prosthetic location, a double capsule, the occurrence of a periprosthetic membrane, or excessive intracapsular fluid, which can act as a lubricant. 2,3,19,20 A double capsule is a periprosthetic capsule surrounded by another capsule. 3,19,20 We believe a periprosthetic membrane is the other end of the spectrum.…”

“…2,3,19,20 A double capsule is a periprosthetic capsule surrounded by another capsule. 3,19,20 We believe a periprosthetic membrane is the other end of the spectrum. Perhaps because of undefined factors, the early capsule formation somehow becomes separated from the breast tissue, becoming a periprosthetic membrane.…”
